The Dominican Republic Experience was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I will treasure for the rest of my life.Leaving Canada, I had the idea that I was going down to help the people of Yamasa, but it turns out that they helped me a thousand times more. Their culture, their friendship, their generosity, their humility, and their love amazed me, and instilled in me the desire to become a better person.
I cannot put into words how much this trip helped me and inspired me. God was so present in the people of the Dominican and I am so grateful to have witnessed this. They owned so little, yet they were willing to give us everything. Our society has much to learn from them.
Thanks to everyone who helped us out and supported us in our fundraising; together we changed the lives of many! Keep on St. Joe’s!
